Jerimy is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name Jeremiah, which means 'appointed by God'. It's a strong and distinctive name, often favored for its unique sound and rich history. Jerimy was popularized in part due to its appearance in literature, notably in the novel 'Jeremias' by German author Gottfried Keller.
The name Jerimy peaked in popularity between the years 1976 to 1981, with a significant jump from 75 births in 1976 to a peak of 48 births in 1978. However, it's important to note that these numbers are quite low compared to other names' statistics, indicating that Jerimy was not widely used during this period. After the mid-80s, the name became even less common, with fewer than 25 births per year from 1987 onwards. The most recent data shows a slight increase in usage with 7 births in 2021, but overall, Jerimy remains quite an uncommon name.
